He's not talking about a BBK or brake upgrade, he's talking about brake wear expenses. Also, I don't how you could possibly count tires as a mod. Tires are required and just like any replacement wear items there are various levels of quality replacements but they're still just tires...lol.

I read that as: Different than stock tires count but replacing tires for wear/tear doesn't. If I change to non-stock tires, that goes on the tally sheet. When I replace tires (stock or not) because of wear/tear, it doesn't. YMMV

I can count tires and wheels as a mod. I swap both of them for track days. Also I do not use the OEM wheels.

So my Foose x 4 chrome steel wheels = 2000+ dollars
My Enkei track wheels = 2000+ dollars
And my extra set of tires for track = ~1500 dollars.

My Endless brake pads on OEM sport calipers = 700? dollars.

That's how. I don't NEED any of them to go do a tack day, but they are modifications. Just not necessarily gadgety do-dads.
